Standard Operating Procedure for

TR069 configuration of FTTH ONT’s

in BSNL Network

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1. Motto
To Reach and Monitor beyond the ONTs to ensure better End User experience in BSNL FTTH Service

1.2. Target
All the FTTH ONTs of the entire BSNL network are to be enabled with TR069 Service and get connected
with the Bridle ACS Server.

1.3. About this SOP

This Standard Operating Procedure v2.0 is based on the current procedure followed in Trivandrum BA to
integrate the ONTs.

1.4. Challenges
One time entry of ACS details needs to be entered in all the ONTs and TR069 Service to be enabled. This
is possible only through the Native GUI of the ONTs as all devices are firewall enabled and remote access
is blocked through Internet. This update is not possible for all ONTs even through OLTs of same make. It
would be time consuming and require more man power to configure all the ONTs.

1.5. Methodology
It is planned to configure the ONT’s through the following groups.

a. Plan-A: ONT ACS Parameter configuration at the time of provision of connection

b. Plan-B: Mandatory ONT ACS configuration at the time of provision along with ONT MAC-ID
validation
c. Plan-C: Mandatory ONT ACS configuration and Auto configuration of the ONT at the time of
provision along with ONT MAC-ID validation
d. Plan-D: Remote configuration of the homogenous ONT’s i.e. ONT’s and OLT’s are of the same
make or they use the same family of chipsets
e. Plan-E: Configuration of ONTs by getting Remote Access from the Customers.
f. Plan-F: Configuration of ONTs by reaching the customer premises.

2.0 ONT Configuration Requirements
2.1. Step 1: ACS Settings

On login to the ONT, the following parameters are to be set in the ACS Page for the ONTs to
report to the ACS. The Menu location may differ as WANRemote or WANCWMP or
NetworkTR069 in different ONT Makes.

Table A - Default ACS Parameters

# PATH VALUE
1 ACS URL http://acs.bsnl.in:7547
2 ACS User Name acs
3 ACS Password acs@bsnl
4 Informing Interval 30
5 Enable Periodic Informing Enabled
Telephone Number: VLAN
6* Connection Request Username
(Eg: 0471-2990000:128)

*This is mandatory for ONT auto configuration.

(See Annexure I for ACS configuration of different ONT models)

2.2. Step 2: WAN Settings for Auto Configuration

Franchisees can go ahead with manual configuration of CPEs enabling ACS parameters.
Enabling TR069 service with ACS settings is mandatory to complete Service Order in FMS.
Creation of Voice Service is optional as this will be taken care by ACS if not done. While doing
WAN configuration one must ensure the below parameter.

1 Service Mode TR069_INTERNET

(See Annexure II for WAN configuration of different ONT models)

2.3. Step-3: ONT Reporting to ACS

After successful authentication of ONTs either with default credentials or actual credentials, it is
necessary to ensure that the ONT is reporting to ACS after getting IP Address. This can be
ensured from the status page of TR069/CWMP/Remote with a report that Upload Success or
Inform Success.

(See Annexure III for TR069 reporting status of different ONT models)

SOP version 2.0 Page 2 of 25 25-Mar-2024

3.0 Plan-A: ONT ACS Parameter configuration at the time of provision of connection
 All the Franchisees shall be educated to configure the ACS parameters also in the ONT’s
at the time of provision of new connection.
 The configuration requirements for the ONT’s shall be as per para 2.0
4.0 Plan-B: Mandatory ONT ACS configuration at the time of provision along with ONT MAC-
ID validation
4.1. BSNL indents to configure 100% of its customers ONT’s for ACS for giving better customer end
management and customer satisfaction. In this context, it has been decided that all the ONT’s
are to be mandatorily be configured with ACS parameters at the time of initial installation itself.
Accordingly a new FMS flow has been introduced. The revised flow incorporates the MAC-ID
validation also. Trail implementation of this flow is completed in Trivandrum BA, Kerala circle.
Further implementation in all other BA’s / Circles is in progress.
4.2. Step-1: ONT ACS configuration
 The configuration requirements for the ONT’s shall be as per para 2.0
 The ONT reports to ACS through the internet path.
 ACS will immediately fetch the service MAC from the ONT and report the FMS with the
ONT MAC address and inner VLAN.
4.3. Step-2: FMS Order submission
 Submit button in the FMS order will be enabled only after the ONT is connected and the
internet connection is through.

No
submit
button

SOP version 2.0 Page 3 of 25 25-Mar-2024

  A popup window will be displayed in the FMS with the following message.

 Also inside the work order there is a new parameter "ACS Status" is added.

 Once ONT is connected, FMS will validate the MAC and if valid, FMS will send back
customer credentials for configuration and enables SUBMIT button in FMS. The popup
window will be changed as below.

 The ACS status shown in the FMS will be

 TheSUBMITbutton will be highlighted. Franchisee can now close the provision

order.
 In case the connected ONT is not of the approved make, (List of approved makes
/ models are available in FMS), ACS status will continue to be “ACS has not yet
verified the ONT” and order cannot be closed.
5.0 Plan-C:Mandatory ONT ACS configuration and Auto configuration of the ONT at the time
of provision along with ONT MAC-ID validation
5.1. Going forward, BSNL intends to do auto configuration of all ONT parameters from the ACS
including Internet, Voice, Wi-Fi etc. The list of ONT’s now supporting auto configuration are
given in the Bridle site (http://acs.bsnl.in:8080/bridle/). Efforts are being made to enable more
and more models for auto configuration. Onts are initially configured with default setting to
reach ACS server. The FTTH number and the vlan with which ONT is to be configured is given in
connection request username under TR069 configuration of ONT. [Table A: 6]
5.2. Step-1: Network Pre-configuration
Default Parameters
 Default VLAN : 1199
 Default userid: bsnlftth@tr69.in [multisession enabled and without binding]
 Default password: bsnltr69

SOP version 2.0 Page 4 of 25 25-Mar-2024

 OLT Configuration
 For auto configuration, a default VLAN 1199 is used. Hence VLAN 1199 must be created
and tagged in the OLT, both in uplink and downlink ports.
 VLAN1199 must be added to ONT profile in addition to data, voice and IPTV VLANs.
 VLAN1199 must be added in the network path (MNGPAN/CPAN/RPR) up to the BNG
port.

BNG Configuration

 MPLS link under vrf_18874 (TR069) should be configured in PE Router

 Corresponding context tr69.in should be created in BNG for the default userid to
authenticate and to extend the reachability toward ACS server.
 The default userid (bsnlftth@tr69.in) shall be configured with multi-session access.

5.3. Step-2: ONT ACS configuration

 Two steps involved in Auto-configuration by ACS. One is setting ACS parameters in the
ONT as described in para 2.1 above.
 Second is setting default wan configuration.

Table B - Default WAN Configuration

PATH VALUE
Mode Route
IP Version IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6
Connection Mode PPPoE
Enable VLAN Enabled
VLAN 1199
Username bsnlftth@tr69.in
Password bsnltr69
PPP type Continuous
Service Mode TR069_INTERNET
(See Annexure IV for wan settings for Autoconfiguration of different ONT models)

5.4. Step-3: FMS Order submission

 This step is the same as given in para 4.3 above.

6.0 Plan-D: Remote configuration of the homogenous ONT’s i.e. ONT’s and OLT’s are of the
same make or they use the same family of chipsets
6.1. Procedure
 Step 1: Finding compatible ONTs. This can be checked by login into the OLT through GUI
or telnet and displaying all ONTs. From its serial number (starts with GPON in the case of
Netlink or like devices) or from MAC, we can find the homogeneous ONTs.

Homogenous ONT

 Step 2: Finding Userid, ont credentials and firewall level from these ONTs. For this we
have to run 3 commands in OLT.
For ex: If the ont is 0/1/1(Interface 0/1 and onu id 1) the following commands are used.
# config t
<config># interface gpon 0/1
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri wan_adv
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri username
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri firewall

 We will get the bb username, ont login credentials and firewall level from these
commands’ outputs as shown below.

BB username

SOP version 2.0 Page 6 of 25 25-Mar-2024

 ONT username and pwd

Firewall level

 Step 3: Lowering the firewall and enabling wan port for a particular IP. Through this IP,
we will access the ONT’s home page. For lowering firewall we will run this command.
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri firewall level low
 After lowering the firewall to low level, we will run this command for opening wan port
to a particular IP and Port. For ex: if we want to access ONT from 117.242.10.17 through
port 8080 the command will be :
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri acl http control enable lan enable wan enable ipv4_control
enable 117.242.10.17 255.255.255.255 ipv6_control disable port 8080
 Step 4: Find the connected IP of the respective userid from BNG. The IP can be obtained
from BNG’s userid status query.
 Step 5: Login into the ONT using the public IP obtained from step 4. For ex: if the userid
bsnlftth@ftth.bsnl.in is connected with IP 59.62.25.47 then we will open the home page
of ont 0/1/1 from the PC having the internet IP 117.242.10.17 as
http://59.62.25.47:8080

Login into the ONT with the login credentials we got from step-2 and enter ACS
parameters in the ONT. Once it is saved successfully, then internet configuration of wan
service page is opened. Here we will change the service mode as TR069_INTERNET
instead of INTERNET. Now the connection will be disconnected and we will lose the
ONT’s home page. The ONT will start reporting to ACS within few seconds.
SOP version 2.0 Page 7 of 25 25-Mar-2024
  Step 6: Disabling wan port and changing the firewall to high. After successful completion
of step-5, the wan port of the ONT should be disabled and firewall level must be set to
high. For this, the following commands are given in OLT.
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri acl http control enable lan enable wan disable port 80
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri acl http control disable
<config-pon-0/1># onu 1 pri firewall level
The above steps, except step-5, can be programmed with suitable programming
languages like Python.
